Embalming Table I

An Embalming Table I is where you inject solutions into a corpse’s pockets to change its skulls: a Solution for Corpses adds white skulls for a better grave, a Solution for Zombies adds red skulls for a stronger zombie. It comes with Embalming I (50 red, 10 blue), which follows Autopsy, Advanced and also gives the recipe for the white solution. It costs 4 Oiled Planks, a Polished Bronze and 4 Glass, and stands in the morgue.

How it works

  1. Lay a corpse on it from over your head.
  2. Click an empty pocket slot in the table’s window and pick a solution from your backpack. The solution is used up at once.
  3. The table works by itself: 4 steps for a single-colour solution, 6 for an injection, 20 seconds a step. A single solution takes 80 seconds, and it never fails.
  4. The solution ends up in the body’s pocket, where its skulls count like any pocket item’s.

Notes

  • A body holds at most 6 pocket items, organs and the certificate not counted. With 6 the table refuses more.
  • For a zombie’s body the window shows its collar’s red-skull range, so you can see how far to go.
  • The red solution and the two-colour injections are not in Embalming I. The red one comes with Reanimation Liquid, the injections with Embalming III.
  • Every embalming counts toward the Embalmator inspiration.
  • Building it is hammer work at Building mastery 2 and gives 2 red and 2 blue tech points. Embalming Table II works twice as fast.
